Childrens Story

There once was a sock named Sue,

and she had a twin brother named Drew.

Sue and Drew were an inseparable pair,

and they were great friends with the underwear.

But one sad night after a wonderful day,

Sue and Drew were put away.

 In the laundry bin they did go,

Sue and Drew saw their friend, Mo.

 Mo was a t-shirt soiled and green,

“Gee guys, it’s time for a clean.”

There was a story from long ago

that speaks of the horrors of a lost rain coat.  

They say the washer ate him clear

and Chuck  the rain coat disappeared.

 So when Sue and Drew had to be cleaned

they were cautious of this mysterious fiend.  

Wash day came around and to the twin-socks great fear

Mo the t-shirt had also disappeared.

Sue and Drew shivered and shook

when their owner had latched the hook.

 Through the bubbles and close buds,

brother and sister were lost in the suds.

They tried to stay close, and they tried to be safe,

but the scary old washer had pulled them away.

When the torture was finally through,

Drew had lost track of his sister, Sue.

Sue was in a place dark and scary,

all she could see were the boxers named Harry.

 

“Do you have any idea of where we are?”

Asked Harry with a look, bizarre.

 

“I think the washer ate us,” said Sue,

who was sad that the stories had been true.

“No, no! You have it wrong!"

Said a voice that was loud and very strong.

“All I want is the company of friends,

it’s awfully lonely,” the deep voice said.

“Then let us go!” Pleaded Harry and Sue,

“We want to see our friends, too!”

At the end of the day it was decided,

the washer and clothes would be united.

Every week they’d visit once,

and boy, together they'd have some fun.

The washer was never lonely again,

And Drew and Sue were happy about their new friend.
